I'm really tired of seeing this show in leftist spaces. You are witnessing the procession of simulacra in real time, and it's one of your symbols now. The machine is eating your ideology. Disney is the probably the largest producer of treats in the world. They are the undisputed masters of hyperreality. All this milquetoast rhetoric is in there on purpose. Joe Hamburger likes Andor too. Joe Hamburger is listening to leftist thought be watered down until it's palettable for him, until it's sanitized and safe for him to consume.

Comrade, I would trust a 75 year old before a 14 year old, any day. What the hell does my nephew know about current events other than the latest skibidi toilet lore? Leave the minimums where they are, just put some maximums in place.

Me and wife have been looking for five years now. And by looking I mean we've been slowly burning through the savings that were supposed to be a down-payment, waiting for the housing market to crash. I don't think it's going to happen.

I don't know if you can call it independently. It's a bit like how clothes from the 70s keep coming back in style. They're not being invented again; it's an homage.

They really have to come up with more and more excuses to think about Hunter's hog don't they?

The 'i' is capitalized. The multinational corporate conglomerate that owns them is called Independent Journalism.

I sense a riot in the near future.

The text on the left is legible and from what I make out says Kaizer Chiefs, a South African sports team. Most commonly used AI wouldn't be that good at text in context.

We all know that a giant seawall will be erected at some point. And of course it will be at the expense of the poor to protect the wealthy. Maybe they can turn the poorer neighborhoods into beachfront property.

I don't know if he would want to watch it. Sometimes it can be hard to look at yourself in the mirror.

I need to replay POE. But I know that I'll just spend four hours researching the optimal party composition and then never get past the prologue again.

You left out the part where the animal has to be conscious, which, like I said, is the only real difference. Even if you believe that you can taste the fear in your animal product, wouldn't the animal being unconscious for the process produce less?
